Hepatic content of Hg²⁺ in SO and 75% NPX Wistar and TR⁻ rats treated with an intraperitoneal 100 mg/kg dose of DMSA or saline 24 and 28 h after being injected intravenously with a 0.5 μmol/kg dose of mercuric chloride. Animals were sacrificed 48 h after being injected with Hg²⁺. Each value represents the mean ± S.E. from four animals. ∗ indicates significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding group of Wistar rats treated with saline. # indicates significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding group of Wistar rats treated with DMSA. + indicates significantly different (p < 0.05) from the corresponding group of SO rats treated in the same manner.
